I've taken care of neighbors pets from about 11 years old, until I moved out on my own and started getting my own pets. My oldest cat is 8 years old and I've had him since he was a baby. I have since acquired 4 more cats, including my "outside cats" I try and take care of the feral cats outside by feeding them and getting them fixed. I have a small amount of experience administering medication to cats, mainly to their ears. I have 3 dogs and also have a small amount of experience giving medicine/applying flea meds.
